Change Management – the management of change. Leading the process of cultural, behavioral, and psychological change.

This video is safe for viewing in the workplace.

This is learning, so, sit back and enjoy

Some view it as the soft side of Project Management – not a job for proper Project Managers.

Others view it as a distinct discipline.

But the fact about Change Management is…

There is a Spectrum of skills, knowledge, and tools that ranges from ‘pure’ Project Management to ‘pure’ Change Management.

As PM you need to be able to play across the whole spectrum. You will have a part of the spectrum where you are most comfortable. But we must view projects as an integrated whole.

That means seeing Change Management as part of our Project Management practice.

Change Management Knowledge Area

Just as the PMI sets itself up to marginalize its Knowledge Areas, I want to put in a plea for this as a core part of your skillset. Project Managers should regard Change Management as one of our KAs.
